STOCKTON - Six vehicles at three separate locations just east of Fritz Grupe Park in northwest Stockton were torched early Monday, Stockton police reported.

Arson investigators are handling the case and had little to go on later in the day. Police Department spokesman Officer Joe Silva said it was unknown if any of the vehicles were targeted or it was a random crime.

Officers were initially dispatched at 2 a.m. Monday to the 3100 block of Sea Gull Lane on a report of three vehicles on fire. While they were investigating that incident, authorities located two more vehicles on fire in the 6000 block of Carolina Circle. Officers then located another vehicle on fire in the 3100 block of West Swain Road.

"We are really encouraging the community to call us. Call Crime Stoppers if you want to stay anonymous," Silva said. Contact police at (209) 937-8323 or Crime Stoppers at (209) 946-0600.

FRENCH CAMP - A commuter train traveling at nearly 80 mph in foggy conditions plowed into a car south of Stockton on Monday morning, pushing the empty vehicle about a quarter-mile down the tracks and spraying nearby parked cars with debris.

Nobody around the crash site nor the 37 people aboard the San Jose-bound train were harmed, according to rail and law enforcement officials.

The visibility in the fog was about 300 feet when the collision occurred shortly after 7 a.m. Monday, but why the 2000 Toyota Corolla was in the path of the Altamont Corridor Express train was not certain, California Highway Patrol spokesman Officer James Smith said.

A 50-year-old man driving the Toyota south on McKinley Avenue had veered onto the railroad tracks north of Industrial Drive for an unknown reason. There was no evidence that another car was involved, Smith said. The car got stuck on the track, and the driver got out of the car, he said.

A few minutes later, the train struck the car, he said. It kicked up rocks that flew into a nearby parking lot and damaged eight cars.
